The snow may have been in retreat, but after a frosty night, it wasn’t giving up without a fight…
Wallpaper 602: Layers in the Light
I do like a bit of ‘Depth of Field’ – especially with a drop of morning sunshine. Don’t we all?
Wallpaper 601: Blissfully Unaware
I was lucky to catch this insect-hunting warbler – thanks to a stealthy advance and a long lens.
Thinks: I’d do well to put this piccie in Mr Point’n’Shoot.

The night had been cold, but the morning sunlight was warm. This didn’t last long…

No, not me:Â this tree…
Tooty’s Sci-Fi Art: First They Take Out Our Means Of Communication
Not the sort of view you want to see from a porthole in the International Space Station…
Okay, really its a combination of a light fitting and my front door spy hole. But with a little imagination…

As the Sun breaks through, a small group of Linnets take flight…

Regarding a Christmas candle through the lens of my little Ricoh Caplio R7, a creative – nay, artistic – thought emerged…

Another Earplug Smart Phone Wallpaper?
Months ago – I don’t recall how many, a lot of things have happened since then – I posted an experimental Earplug Adventure wallpaper for smart phones. I’d rather hoped that someone would download it and give it a try – just to see if I had the specs right. So now that I’ve been reminded of that chronologically distant event, I’d like to try it again – if that’s alright with you. If it works, just leave a comment in the ‘comments’ box. The same if it doesn’t, obviously. Thank you. Here’s a wallpaper featuring the scary version of Folie Krimp…

Wallpaper 590: Task Complete
Wallpaper 589: Sheep Pause to Contemplate Existence

Late brood. Only half-grown in December: can this little guy survive until Spring?
Wallpaper 586: Paint the Park Red
Wallpaper 585: Grey Sky; Grey Tree; Grey Squirrel
This picture is another example of a surprise ‘hit’ on Flickr. I never know what picture is going to hit the target. It’s always a surprise.
Wallpaper 584: Right Time: Wrong Place
Just to prove that I can get as mean ‘n’ moody as the next photo-snapper, here is a rare B&W shot…
Wallpaper 583: Hampshire Back Lanes
Hampshire back lanes, like those of most English counties, criss cross the region in a meandering river-like fashion that dates back through the centuries.

Wallpapers 578 & 579: More Truthful Autumn & Light Relief
Autumn is a glorious season in the northern hemisphere – foliage full of browns, golds, reds, etc. And brilliant sunshine too, of course. Well actually that’s not always true. In fact, in some years, it’s more than a little rare. So after snapping away during the fair weather, I thought I’d put on my mack and disport in soggier climes. This is the more truthful Autumn…
But when the sun does shine…
…it is a joy to hold a camera.
Wallpaper 577: Distant Sunflower
When I walk the dogs, I always make sure a camera comes along for the ride. This one had just enough zoom…
Earplug Adventures Wallpaper 70: A Ghastly Communication.
In this scene from ‘The Time Tamperer volume 2‘, Magnuss and Hair-Trigger receive a video call from the future. Unfortunately it’s not good news from Cushions Smethwyke:Â apparently time travel has become impossible, and they’re now stuck in their own past. “Oh shit,” or words to that affect, springs to mind.
Wallpaper 576: The Obliging Bovine
I asked this wide-eyed moo-moo to raise its head for my camera. Clearly I speak bovine, because this is what happened…
